#7262: Crash with interface corruption

----------------------------------------+-----------------------------------
 Since the transition to the 2.x line of Pidgin clients, I've noticed
 relatively frequent crashes on my Vista-based machine; I run Pidgin 24/7,
 and the crashes typically occur 2-3 times per week.  I do not have any
 plugins enabled, and use only the AIM protocol.  The crashes always seem
 to occur mid-conversation; first, the client stops taking input, and then
 the interface becomes corrupted.  I've included a screenshot of the
 corruption.

 This does not appear to be a problem isolated to Windows/Vista - one of my
 friends, who is running 2.4.0 on Ubuntu Hardy Heron, reports identical
 crashes (on a nightly basis) and visual corruption.

 Will do, but I'm going to have to start running the Windows debug version
 first; it may be a few days before I see the crash again.  Apologies for
 that.
